SHAH ALAM, JUL 22: Honda will now bear Khairul Idham Pawi’s career-related expenses after the national Moto3 rider, known as SuperKIP, signed a contract with the motorcycle team.
Boon Siew Honda Sdn Bhd explained that these expenses include airfare, accommodation, food, monthly salary and other expenses related to his career.
“The long-term plan for Khairul Idham’s career leading to a higher level on the international stage is all ready.
“Boon Siew Honda also arranged for private funding by offering additional sponsorships such as the recent sponsorship signed with RedBull,” it said.
Khairul Idham’s financial issues, as highlighted by his father, Pawi Omar, received attention following his success in the World Motorcycle Championship (MotoGP) in German Grand Prix, July 17.
Despite starting at 20th on the grid, the Honda Asia rider pulled ahead and powered his way through the wet racetrack before crossing the finishing line as champion.
Prior to this, Khairul Idham had achieved success at the Argentina Grand Prix in April 2016.
Boon Siew Honda clarified that they are not involved in any other campaigns or requests by Khairul Idham’s family for additional support, such as costs for ‘companions and escort’.
